There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Good to see the triplets together. 
Any news of eldest two or the youngest one?

No, not for a while. Hopefully the eldest ones are somewhere around Lion Sands and Londolozi, rather than in the Kruger.

As we can see Nhena, despite being old and out of his prime can still give a pretty heavy beating to younger males in their prime such as NYM

Not to go down a rabbit hole of speculation, but I was asking myself the exact same thing as soon as I saw the image. It caused me to ponder what would have happened had Nhenha not had Tinyo if the end result with OM would have been any different. OM was not an overly aggressive male, but he sure was massive and strong. Nhenha has always been a beast, he used to bash Tinyo about on occasion in similar fashion.

It seems Nkuchuma male remained with a female after confrontation so I would assume Nkuchuma male can up on top on this occassion.

OM just did not have any occassion to fight which doesn't mean he was calm. In general he appeared to be very confident/ over confident, not calm and scared.

Obviously it would. It is nearly impossible or at least exceptionally rare that 1vs1 fight between male lions would resault in the fatal injurys. To be honnest in such 1vs1 I would even expect OM to came on top. He was much younger, fitter, probably stronger. I would not expect OM would lack size and confidence either.

Agreed, OM never lacked in confidence, which may have hurt him in the end. At just 3 years old, after the Majins died, he defended the Othawa Pride from the Mhangenis, and took on the role of pride male, at least until HB and Ginger arrived on the scene.

1. Just because the Nkuhuma Male was with the Ximungwhe female does not mean he dominated Nhenha. More than likely Nhenha got close and the Nkuhuma Male tried to disperse him only to get a big scratch on his face. Nhenha has done most of the mating and I assume he is giving the Nkuhuma Male the chance to mate now so he probably injured the Nkuhuma Male in defense of himself. 
2. Your Othawa Male comment comes off as bias. The Othawa Male was around the Bboys when Nhenha was 8-11 years old and the Othawa Male was around 3-6 years old. Looking at current events Nhenha is giving injuries to lions in their primes at the age of 12 years old whilst walking away unscathed. The Othawa Male would have been around Prime Nhenha. So if you wanna go by facts, Nhenha should he stronger, more experienced and confident in a 1v1 to take the Othawa Male who he chased multiple times and eventually played a part in killing. In the Othawa Males death, Nhenha only seemed to have receive a limp which he recovered from in less than a month. So I would disagree with you that the Othawa Male would come out on top.

He was talking about the fight last year, not prime Nhenha. 

Lets not get in another pointless discussion "my favorite lion is stronger then yours".. Pls.

Nhenha and OM never fought in a 1 vs 1 , so we have absolutely 0 clue how would that fight go lol..

Just a remainder, that Nhenha lost to Skorro Jr. not so long ago, even tho Skorro Jr. sustained more dmg, Nhenha was the one who retreated in the end, also Nhenha was running from Mohawk Avoca last year in his territory, both males who are prob least impressive then OM was.. 

Tinyo also occasionaly beat Nhenha in fights for mating rights in recent years, so lets not form a narrative that Nhenha is some unbeatable machine, every lion, regardless how strong and big he is, lost a battle at some point in his life.

Also, this is offtopic and pointless discussion.

I agree with @Tr1x24 . I should not have voiced my thoughts on the matter, which resulted in this OT conversation.

Apperantly everything about Nhenha topic gets "heated" up, so better avoid that.

Yeah, he went to fight with Nkuuchma male for mating rights over female and in the middle of fight he just decided "I could beat him, but insteed I will be kind and let him mate" Makes total sense...

It does.

Disscussion was on who came on top on this particular confrontation, not which of the two males is overall the more dominant one.
